Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
slack_list_channelsA

List Slack channels the bot can see (read-only). Returns each channel's id, name, topic, and member count. Use the returned id with slack_channel_history — most other tools take an id (C0123ABCD), not a name.

slack_channel_historyA

Read recent messages from a Slack channel (read-only). Provide the channel id (e.g. C0123ABCD), not the name — resolve names via slack_list_channels first.

slack_thread_repliesA

Read all replies in a Slack thread (read-only). Provide the channel id and the parent message's ts (thread_ts).

slack_conversations_infoA

Get metadata for a single Slack channel by id (read-only): name, topic, purpose, member count, archived state.

slack_user_infoA

Look up a Slack user by id (read-only). Returns display name, real name, and timezone. Email is intentionally omitted.

slack_list_usersA

List Slack workspace users (read-only). Returns id, name, real name, and bot flag. Email is intentionally omitted.

slack_search_messagesA

Search messages across the workspace (read-only). Requires a user token (SLACK_USER_TOKEN with search:read) — bot tokens cannot search. Supports Slack search operators like in:#channel, from:@user, before:YYYY-MM-DD.
